CENTRHFUGAL FLOUR BOLT.

SPECIFICATION forming part 'of Letters Patent NO. 313,756, dated March 10, 1885.

Application filed November 11, 1884.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. MOYER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Stevens Point, in the county of Portage and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Centrifugal Flour-Bolts, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawlngs.

My invention relates to centrifugal flourbolts; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is an elevation of the feed end of a centrifugal flour-bolt embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the discharge end of the same. Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the silk frame of the boltingcylinder with the silk broken away. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal vertical sec tion of the bolting sheet and cylinder. Fig. 5 is an end view of one of the inner flanges at the ends of the bolting-cylinder. Fig. 6 is an end View of the outside flange, and Fig. 7 is a detail sectional view showing the connection of the inner and outer flanges.

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A designates the frame of the machine, and a the feed-entrance to the flour-bolt.

e designates the inner flange, to which the silk frame a is secured by machine-screws 0 through threaded holes 0 in said frame.

f designates the outside flange, in which flange e revolves.

n designates lugs or pins on the flange ,6, against which cam m, mounted on revolving shaft t below the bolt, strikes, causing the rim or flange e to revolve within the flange f the distance between the lugs or pins a, after which the flange 6 remains stationary until cam 1% makes another revolution. y designates the screw holes in flange f for the purpose of securing the flange f to the bolt-frame.

0 are secured. The heaters and silk frame revolve in the direction of the arrows.

h designates deflectors that facilitate or retard the material in its passage from the head to the tail of the reel, and are operated to suit the workings of the bolt. These deflectors or arms h are made of wrought-iron, and may be twisted either way, so that they will,when revolving, throw the material either toward th head or tail of the bolt.

s designates a spur-wheel secured to shaft t, and r is a spur-wheel secured to the end of the conveyer-shaft a. The shaft to is also provided with a spur-wheel, p, which engages a spur-wheel, 1), on the lower conveyer-shaft t.

o designates the cut-off between the conveyers.

w is a detachable linkchain connecting the sprocket-wheels on the shafts i and a, and wis a pulley on the shaft 1'.

To illustrate the advantages of this construction, it is only necessary to state that when a screen is revolving at the rate of two hundred or three hundred feet per minute it has a great tendency to out off the outward passage of the material when thrown against it, Whereas I allow the silk to remain stationary a greater part of the time, and by so doing overcome this defect. This flour-bolt does notsuck air, because it is fed outside of the circle of the in ner diameter of the heaters. The discharge is also outside of the inner diameter of the radius of the heaters. Furthermore, the silk is drawn over the wires 1 and allows the heaters to pass close to the silk cloth.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

1. The combination, with the frame provided with the outside flanges, ff, of thesilkcovered reel-frame having flanges e e, the pins n, the cam m, and mechanism, substantially as described, for operating the cam, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the frame provided with the flangesf f, of the silk-covered reel-frame having flanges e e, the revolving heaters, the deflectors h, the cam m, pins n, and gearing, substantially as described, for operating the parts, as set forth.

3. The combination, with the frame having gearing, substantially as described, for oper- -the flanges f f, of the silk-coveredreel-frame, ating the reel, heaters, and deflectors, as set the revolving heaters and deflectors, and the forth. feed and discharge openings located outside of In testimony that I claim the foregoing as 5 the circle of the inner diameter of the heaters, my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in I 5 substantially as set forth. presence of two witnesses.
